This last weekend, Oct. 23-24, we were invited to The FSU football game by Dual South, my cohort for about 10 years in the Merrill office, N.Palm Beach, Fl. His son in law, Vic Vickers, was the host. Fri night we went to the Governor's Club. A real treat. We felt like we were back in N.. Palm Beach, maybe at the Sailfish club. It was Parent's night. The downtown of Tallahassee was packed.
Saturday, we were again Vic's guest, in a Sky box no less, for the FSU, football game. The sky box was a real treat. Vic was such a wonderful host, I promised to come to Alaska and campaign for him in the next Senate race for Alaska.
Anyway, it was a superb weekend at what is almost our the end of our first year here inTallahassee.
